Hi Tee...well I grow a few... mostly up on the roof.. although most will have been started inside... lets see... well first there are three great produce markets... as well as an organic food store and market with in two blocks of my front door... and there's a farmers market along the park on the corner on Sundadys all year long... so there's plenty of great fresh produce as close as one might have a veg garden at home
I do grow a few raspberry plants [ 4 ] and strawberries that come back every year... always a few volunteer tomatoes... and one or two new ones... I tried a gradted tomato last year and it got to be 8 ft tall... I just started 50 of the hottest peppers in the world yesterday... the Carolina Reaper....

there's also plenty of passsion vines... [ passion fruit ] I guess there's maybe 6 different ones and more plants.. but I don't eat many.. this year I've three dragon snake vines going.. they grow like a rampant run away train...[ think kudzo ] the twisted snake like fruit is eaten like a squash in asia,, and is used in piles of homeopathic ways there..

oh there will likely be others this year.. as in years past.. oh basil for my years supply of pesto.. that's every year.. and mint for the mohitos.. i couldn't get rid of that if I wanted to..it's too hardy
